i have concluded that frecciarossa executive class is hilarious and we need it urgently on amtrak: -huge evil villain chairs -next seat is two counties over -big stupid conference room you can book -food is good enough -chairs can swivel, recline, etc. -bizarrely cheap

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

time for MOUNTAINS

Every single corner and every place two different materials meet is another potential leak

one of these things is not like the others

not *just* bikes

out there foaming Norfolk Southern

he’s doing his best, cut him some slack #critterposting

went to Amsterdam and had no joke THE MOST STRESSFUL BIKE RIDE OF MY LIFE and if I never ride a bike with coaster brakes again it'll be too soon

lol

jesus christ that's probably a solid foot out-of-plumb

one of the things I love about visiting Europe is how clean the streets are

the world's most frustrating hotel room: you are on top of the trains, you can hear the trains, and if you contort yourself into a really awkward position only then can you see the trains

wow I haven't seen an NS train since leaving philly weird that they paint them yellow and not black here though

folks it's unfortunate but it has happened: I am in the netherlands

update: then you hit Belgium and it's just a whole country of slow interlockings and station throats

going through the channel tunnel is like bearing witness to a miracle. holy shit

i have now boarded eurostar and I am now officially a remainiac

Thank you Phillip for volunteering to be Bluesky's "Dumbass Of The Day"

i book expensive hotels because I like seeing how baffling plumbing fixtures can get and how expertly light switches can be hidden

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

as a bucks county resident and teacher, to celebrate, I’ll be giving your kids extra pronouns today in school

had very much soured on cask or "real" ale back home, but they just do it better here

the downside is I’m devastated that we can no longer use this tweet, which was one of my favourites

well technically I was a resident of *a* hotel

the real space race is being up there chilling having a bbq and a couple of cold ones and maybe like a sick porch

the coming democratic backlash will see austin's comedy mothership burned to the ground. tony hinchcliffe will be made to do land acknowledgements before state-mandated punching up

Had to share this from twitter just because

Zohrans improbable victory should be an inspiration for all of us to pursue Our wildest dreams. Take up skateboarding even if you have a bad back. Call your ex girlfriend and tell her you understand how to love someone now. Start a Ukelele math rock band.

Find that guy arrested for Charlie Kirk jokes and run him for senate in Tennessee

This guy walked so Mamdani could run youtu.be/kcsNbQRU5TI?...

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

ZOHRAN

brought a bag lunch, smart

heard there were some steep discounts on this one pod but strangely, no takers

IT'S THE CHICKEN

sorry but mamdani and cuomo should have worn blue and yellow hats, respectively

i was thinking of the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung

me, seeing the wrong tube train approach: "I thought this was the westbound platform!" also me, seconds later: "oh wait that one's not backwards here"

a very stout lager glass

stumbled into some kind of futuristic space base

the dream of the 90s is still alive at st. pancras station

The Holy Mountain (1973)

perhaps in this gateway to a magical realm i can finally fulfill my dream: to go to big tesco
